Here in the UK I have volunteered at an ‘asylum hotel’ for the last 2 years. I have never felt frightened or at risk when I enter. I take extra foods as just short of £10 can’t feed anyone in this country. I take donated clothes & books. I offer health advice and a listening ear.

UK Govt’s new powers for water customers are a ‘stitch-up’. Toothless consumer panels can't check abuses, sewage dumping, profiteering or bonanza for shareholders/execs. Need real change, not gimmicks. End privatisation. Let customers/employees elect directors, vote on exec pay.k

Birkenhead yesterday, an interfaith friendship lunch at the Deen Centre, with Christians, Jews, Muslims and those of no belief (me). We are not the country that the thugs in balaclavas would have us believe. We have far more in common.

The rot at FIFA has gone too far. Under Infantino, political greed has completely broken the game we love. We can't just watch from the sidelines anymore, the FA and our European partners need to walk away and build a fair, clean alternative from scratch. It’s time to move on.

The UK Government predicts that 1 in 5 weddings in England and Wales could be humanist when legal recognition is finally granted. The evidence is clear. The demand is proven. #HumanistCeremonies celebrants are ready. Legally recognise humanist marriages! humanists.uk/2026/07/16/g...

This is amazing and needs to be shared far and wide. Farage will hate it. How does one get a tune to number 1 these days?

If I were Nigel Farage, I’d dip into that £5 million crypto gift just to fund a video that can compete with this! 🤣 HILARIOUS ⬇️

To those who say “this is not the Brexit I voted for”, you voted for an impossible fantasy, sold to you by grifting gobshites with no interest in reality or what was actually possible. You got exactly what you voted for.

One of the treasures of European architecture. Russia always bragging about its contribution to European culture but this is the reality. And it’s so pointless because it just won’t work.

This morning scrolling Bluesky, there is nothing at all in my feed about Putin’s barbaric attack on the Ukraine’s holiest site, the UNESCO protected Lavra so I’m posting this here.

For the time being I will only be communicating through recorded propaganda speeches and my newsletter of lies and bullshit. This is a just a temporary measure until I am Prime Minister, after which I will directly control the media and outlaw any criticism of the government.

I’m ashamed that the Traitor in Chief would allow such a photograph to be taken. It mustn’t be seen by more than the whole world!!!

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.

I love this from The Telegraph. Someone enjoyed writing it (I hope). "Amazon delivered a handful of packages to rural areas around Cambridge in 2016. However, the service never advanced beyond a small pilot.”

Whatever your politics this is a campaign that we all need to support. It’s heartbreaking and desperately urgent for the women involved. If you share one thing today please make it this🙏

Enhertu is giving women more time in Scotland and around the world. But NICE denied it in England, Wales & NI, saying we’re not “cost effective.” We’ve lost friends waiting. As of April 2026, the money is now there. We need to drug companies to resubmit Enhertu immediately. #metastaticbreastcancer

Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US. A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.
